That's one of the reasons why I encrypt pretty much all my disks, even those in stationary computers. It protects data from physical theft, but also gives peace of mind when reselling or even when a disk dies in a way that won't let you overwrite it with zeroes/random data after the fact.
I want to do that but I have such shitty memory that I will forget the passphrase at some point. It happened to me at least twice...
